SCOUTER Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks much! Swede, Brent- It's not that I don't want to like them but when you see a bird that you raised from a chick snatched out of the air by a Hawk or Falcon you get a little Jaded! Regis- I use PYROGRAPHY tools to "burn" the leather. It is very easy and a LOT of fun. It's basically just a glorified soldering iron with heat control and different tips. II use the system you see here but there are many different systems. http://www.carvertools.com/ I have this belief that Leatherworkers are artists that like using natural materials. I bet that most leatherworkers would also enjoy Pyrography, Woodcarving, Decoy making, engraving... It's this strong urge to create something from nothing. All part of the strange DNA that runs thru our blood. Quote
Members indypbear Posted January 25, 2008 Members Report Posted January 25, 2008 Scouter, That is awesome . You've got a good grasp of the feathers and other features. Try to get a hold of one of the Robb Barr Leather Art videos. He has made around 18 different VHS & DVDs that teach the carving, embossing and coloring. If Hide Crafter doesn't have them let me know and i'll hook you up with a resource. Keep on Toolin' Indy "an OLD Scouter" Quote
